Israeli troops have invaded Gazatwo months after his government accepted the cease-fire con Hamás mediated by USA, Egypt y Qatar. In the middle of Tuesday, the Prime Minister Binyamin Netayahu broke the truce ordering the resumption of bombings on the strip for the purpose of destroying what remains of Hamás and force the Palestinian militia to return to the 59 hostages that remain in their possession without receiving in return the end of the assault. But as is the case from the beginning Netanyahu still does not present a plan for day after In Gaza, how little I could Effectively separate Hamas from power and establish an alternative management in the devastated enclave. Instead, both Israel and USA They continue to take steps to find the form of Deporting 2.2 million inhabitants of the enclave devastated; its “voluntary evacuation”, in official jargon.
These plans have been taking body during the Truce weeks. On February 6, the Hebrew newspaper ‘Walla’ published that the greatest general Ghassan alianat the head of the military department in charge of managing civil affairs in the occupied territories, Cogat, delivered to the Minister of Defense, Israel Katzthe initial plans to proceed to “Voluntary Evacuation” of the population of Gaza. Voluntary evacuation or migration are the euphemisms used by the Israeli government to refer to Forced displacementa crime of war and a crime against humanity typified in international humanitarian law. Citing military sources, the article indicated that although Egypt He will refuse to cooperate by opening his border with Gaza, will be created Terrestrial and sea routes To transfer the Palestinians to an airport and, from there, to the destination countries.
Three days later another of the plan of the plan was air. The Israeli Minister of Finance, Bezalel Smotrich, announced the creation of a Special Department to promote “voluntary migration” From Gaza. “We are establishing a migration department under the leadership of the Prime Minister and the Minister of Defense,” said the Israeli Parliament Committees. “The budget will not be an obstacle.” Smotrich said that in a year the Strip emptying. “If we get some 5,000 a dayit will take us a year, “he said.” Logistics is complex because we have to know who is going to what country. There is potential for historical change. “
Coordination with Washington
The ploy is closely coordinated with the White House, As explained by the ultra -nationalist leader after returning from a visit to Washington. “Both for our part and the US implies Identify key countries, Understanding their interests and promoting cooperation, “Smotrich said.” The migration process from Gaza will begin in the coming weeks, “he added shortly after in an interview to the 12 Israeli channel. At that time, Israel had not yet broken the truce, but he already had the approval of Donald Trump to “permanently relocate” the population of the strip, bombarded, hungry and besieged for 16 months.
A old Israeli right fantasy that the American leader wanted his own by insisting that the US will stay with Gaza when the war ends to transform it into something similar to a Tourist resort. A few words that were immediately interpreted in the Israeli cabinet as a green light to their plans. “God has sent us to the Trump administration and is clearly saying: it is time to inherit the earth,” said the environmental minister, Idit Sliman, Netanyahu Likud co -religionery.
Only a few days after announcing the creation ‘Department for Palestinian Migration’, it was learned that Israeli and American officials have contacted a minimum of a minimum of four governments to try to convince them to welcome the Gazatis. Specifically, Sudan, Somaliathe self -proclaimed Republic of Somaliland y Syriaaccording to Associated Press and CBS News. Countries that if something has in common is their condition of failed states, with devastated economies and active or latent armed conflicts. Little to do with “The beautiful areas” of which Trump spoke to relocate the Palestinians. Apparently, Sudan rejected the proposal, while the rest of the government denied that these contacts had occurred.
Make gaza an uninhabitable place
But the pressure continues, as the pickle continues in Gaza, where they have Dead more than 700 people Since Tuesday, which includes some commanders and half -hair leaders from Hamas, but also almost 200 children, according to the health authorities of the enclave. This same Friday the Egyptian government had to deny that it has accepted an offer to “temporarily” host 500,000 Gazati in a city of the northern Sinai, As published hours before the Lebanese newspaper ‘Al Akhbar’, next to Hizbulá.
The ongoing Israeli strategy in the strip seems to be very similar to the one that applied for three months in the North Gaza With the call General Plan. It essentially consisted of sitting the area, leaving it without food and water, and constantly attacking it to make it uninhabitable in order to force the population to move to the south, near the Egyptian border. Not surprisingly, following the strategy of destroy the health system And all the infrastructure capable of sustaining life in the enclave, the Israeli army flew on Friday with dynamite the Turkish friendship hospital for cancer patients In the center of the strip, the last one that continued to offer oncological care.
All this while Katz, the Minister of Defense, threatened Annexe parts of Gaza To Israel and implement “Trump’s voluntary transfer plan”, as he called it, if Hamas does not clarify and releases all hostages. “The more Hamas insists in his rejection, the more territory he will lose to be annexed to Israel,” Katz said.
